>A Little Background...
>
>David Rovics has been called the musical voice of the progressive
>movement in the US. Amy Goodman has called him "the musical version of
>Democracy Now!" Since the mid-90's Rovics has spent most of his time
>on the road, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North
>America, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. He and his songs
>have been featured on national radio programs in the US, Canada,
>Britain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere. He has shared
>the stage regularly with leading intellectuals (Noam Chomsky, Howard
>Zinn), activists (Medea Benjamin, Ralph Nader), politicians (Dennis
>Kucinich, George Galloway), musicians (Billy Bragg, the Indigo Girls),
>and celebrities (Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon). He has performed at
>dozens of massive rallies throughout North America and Europe and at
>thousands of conferences, college campuses and folk clubs throughout
>the world.

>Few musicians can claim "on-the roadisms" the way Chris Chandler can.
>He is a true veteran of the road, traveling across The United States
>of Generica for many years. His anthology of road tales transforms
>into a flock of doves beneath the musical high-wire act.
>You can usually find him at demonstrations and protests - large and
>small - all across the US and Canada. He was recently seen protesting
>the FTAA in Miami, the G-8 in Calgary and the Iraq war (both of them)
>in Washington, DC to name a few.
>
>  He's played union halls and debutante balls, picket lines and county
>fairs, "Prestigious" folk clubs, and skid row laundromats. His
>experience as a street performer and rabble rouser shine through every
>performance making him a welcome addition to festivals, carnivals,
>hayrides and riots, or where ever the rabble need to be roused.
